8 low-radioactive NaI(Tl) crystals, 106 kg in total, submerged in 2 tons of liquid scintillator.
Physics run started Sept. 2016
Motivation : DAMA annual modulation signal, to be checked with independent measurements with the
same NaI(Tl) target material
Dark Matter Modulation 9.2 sigma
2
Modulation between 2-6 keV
Background : ~1 count/day/kg/keV
(dru=differential rate unit) above 2 keV
NDM15

• Every scientific results should be reproducible, independently.
• Apple-to-apple comparison is necessary.
• Large crystal detector experience helps, and community supports.
Motivation : Right thing to doPhys. Rev. D 94, 122001

COSINE-100 Operation
Very stable operation More than 85% of physics data.
95% are good runs. Roughly 8 months data
are collected

8 crystals with a total mass of 106 kg Internal background components are measured.
Average light yield ~15 PE/keVU/Th/K contaminations are below DAMA value.
210Po (210Pb) is still higher than DAMA.

Crystal-LS Coincidence
• 40K emits 1460 keV gamma with 3 keV Auger electron energy deposition in NaI crystal
• Tagging 1460 keV events with LS enables to veto 3 keV background events (70% tagging efficiency)
